Even if she didn't agree with this, the old woman still agreed: "Yes, many stores are not sold, thank you son, you are really a reincarnated Bodhisattva, there must be good people with good rewards, I have to quickly take the medicine back and give it to my son." ”

The old woman took the medicine and left, but Mu Chen was still very interested in this sky-high price of medicine.

Mu Chen asked, "What kind of medicine is this?" Is it precious? ”

A gold ingot is far more than ten taels of silver, and the boss who has made a cheap profit will naturally answer all questions.

It turns out that this pill is called Buli, which is extracted from a plant called Bulicao, its analgesic effect is second to none, if it is ground into powder and coated on the wound, it can also stop bleeding instantly, and it has the effect of dredging and activating the body and regulating the physique. It's like the son of the old woman just now, who has been living on it since he got angina, and he can't stop the pain without it, and his condition is getting worse.

Buli grass mainly grows in the west of Xilang country, and the Central Plains is adjacent to the east of Xilang country, so it is unrealistic for the Central Plains people to pick cloth grass, so the Central Plains Buli has always been bought from Xilang country. The Central Plains and Xilang are friendly diplomatic relations, and an agreement was signed many years ago, and there will be a quantitative transaction every year, so although the Central Plains does not produce cloth, there is no shortage of cloth, and the price is naturally civilian.

"In that case, you dare to open your mouth and ask for ten taels of silver?" Mu Chen slapped the table, startling the boss.

"Childe, don't be impatient, and listen to me." The boss continued to explain.

Some time ago, the imperial court, as in previous years, transported all this year's Buli from Xilang into the Central Plains, but on the day of entering the capital, the entire batch of goods was robbed by a group of black-clothed people, and the Jinyi guards who escorted Bu Li were killed.

Buli's medicinal properties are unique, there is no other medicine to replace, and everyone has been treating it as a home-cooked medicine for a long time, and it depends on it for treatment and health care, so in the case of an extreme shortage of drugs, you can only use high prices if you want to buy it.

"Boss, are you sure you didn't lie to me? Now that the whole batch is gone, where did you get your cloth from? Mu Chen squinted, and pulled out the sword at his waist, revealing a small piece of silver shining sword body.

She was still a little skeptical of what this person who only looked at money said.

Although this boss is greedy for money, he is also timid, and when he saw the sharp blade, he was so frightened that he knelt in front of Mu Chen as soon as his legs were weak, and his voice was still shaking: "Childe, I really didn't lie to you, I swear, every word is true." As for why the Drug Administration still has inventory, I really don't know, but insiders say that it may be left over from the previous year, and there are not many of them, so they sell it very expensive. ”

Looking at the way he looks like he is rolling and urinating, he shouldn't be a lie.

But this is strange, Xilang is a long way from the capital, and the robbers can do it on the mountain road or in the woods, why should they enter the capital to rob? Is this a deliberate provocation to the imperial court, or is it simply that the robbers want to keep this batch of medicine in the capital?

Is the FDA's cloth really left over from the previous year? Even if the price is raised so high, does the imperial court know? If you know, there's no reason to sit idly by. Mu Chen was skeptical about this origin.

Since the medicine flows from the drug control bureau, I will go to the drug control bureau in the evening to find out.
